"that the existence of government is just one small part."

America would not be in the same place today without the decisions taken over time by its leaders. The same decisions would not be made under a different system of incentives for a leader like a monarchy/anarchy
Are you providing a paid service? privacy, tos, faq, help, about us, our mission, etc etc pages can help to confirm your authenticty to someone who intends to buy.
That's flawed logic. Your users are telling you they can't tell apart merchant/platform so you should build on top of that and assume they won't know that you're not PayPal
This is a "yes but" kind of post ( i feel ). Executing a large product can often require several project managers reporting to a product owner.

The dev would presumably pay through revenue share, because we already established s/he is poor, making a jv where the marketing provider will ask for many adjustments from the dev because they need results fast. It's not a clear cut provider/client relationship and I'm not sure how many devs would choose to pursue this
